Come Ye To The Faire

We made our annual pilgrimage to King Richard’s Faire last weekend. This renaissance fair has been coming to Carver for 25 years now and it never disappoints. Oh, the prices are ridiculous ($9 for a beer!) but it’s only once a year and it’s such a rollicking good time that we can’t resist a trip.

Most years we dress in costume but it was cold and blustery on Sunday and we decided that modern clothes would be more comfortable. You can keep a lower profile that way, too. We enjoyed the joust and the singing and the entertainment. But of course the best part of a medieval faire is the people-watching.

I just love seeing the photos – we had a booth for a few years at the Marin Renaissance faire, back two decades ago, and it was just the best time! Glad you went and suffered the high beer prices for the sake of providing us entertaining photos… especially the one of Dale!

Love the pic of Dale and the grotesque, and the explanation Maryse provided – quite similar to the one I get from DH whenever I goof on that topic. I’ve never been to a Ren faire but I think I need to at least once.

I took my son to the Renaissance Fair (MN) when he was about seven. He loved it. You should have seen the look on his face when I told him we needed to move along to another area to get good seats to see Puke & Snot, a pair of [locally famous] performers. Those were not words he had heard from my mouth before 😉
